yes... and there are separate words for some things... good(as in the
opposite of evil) is tath, whereas evil is spike... but good(as in
the opposite of bad) is mudga and bad is nehmudga... but as to which
type of good is which is pretty much imho just as nothing being the
opposite of everything is... i guess since it's my language (and
therefore heavily influenced by the way i think) someone would have
to learn to think like me to speak/write it... which pretty much
means narethanaal is a one-speaker language ;)
